The Centre of Excellence after a snowfall—this building will greet you when you arrive on campus.
The atrium of the Centre of Excellence, or COE, is a meeting place for many students. Tim Horton’s is on the left for easy coffee access.
A typical classroom in the COE. Glendon’s average class size is 24 students, which means most classrooms are the same size or smaller than the one you see here.
Glendon Hall or “The Manor” is a favourite spot on campus. You may be lucky enough to have a class in this 1920s mansion.
A view of Frost Library. The study spaces face the Rose Garden, providing a beautiful view while you write that essay.
The Rose Garden is a perfect place to relax on a warm day.
The Glendon Athletic Club or Proctor Field House is only $15 for the school year for Glendon students.
